The Seed to Seal Difference
Friday, June 4th, 2010A lot of people ask me why Young Living is so special, and this is what I share with them:
Let’s say that the scent oil industry is represented by a triangle. In the bottom rung are the synthetic oils. These oils represent all of the artificial aromas that go into shampoos, cleaning products, perfumes, etc. These oils are of the lowest quality and some are even not safe. The middle area represents all the oils that are produced with “natural” in mind, but come from companies that are more interested in high product yield and fragrance. The top portion is reserved for therapeutic essential oils. For each level of oils, I’ve seen therapeutic-grade claims—but this is a term that companies often use without verification.
Young Living essential oils lie atop this quality triangle. Young Living’s products are special because we produce essential oils from beginning to end, or from Seed to Seal™. This is how we maintain the integrity of nature’s living energy. The process of Seed to Seal is:
- Seed: Verifying the most beneficial seed species.
- Cultivate: Farming the land ourselves to truly understand the art of agriculture.
- Distill: Extracting oils with our own distillers.
- Test: Verifying the quality of each essential oil with state-of-the-art equipment and top-notch experts.
- Seal: Bottling the final product and carefully shipping worldwide.
Understanding the most beneficial variety of every plant species we bottle, their optimal harvesting conditions, plus how to expertly distill, verify, seal, and ship them worldwide, allows Young Living to ensure each essential oil will deliver the therapeutic results expected and is what makes us the world leader in essential oils.

If you’re like me, there was more good food this holiday season than you could eat. And even though I tried to balance my diet each day, sometimes my eyes were bigger than my stomach (especially when it came to my grandma’s pumpkin pie). For me, feeling full has always been a source of satisfaction—a feeling of completeness.
